Default Washer Question

I just bought a 1986 and it is the very first for me. i have been having odd problems with it here and there. the latest of mine is i cannot get the winsheild washer fluid to squirt. i pulled the hoses and pummped liquid through them, so i know it isnt the tubes. i cannot hear the pump going. question is does anyone know where to locate the washer fluid pump? i am starting to think it is on the wiperblade motor, but i dont konw for sure.

Once you locate the motor and confirm its operation, also check the windshield washer check-valve also called a T-valve. It should be located along the black washer fluid lines. That's what the problem was on mine.
